Does what i eat affect fetal movement? im 36 weeks and my baby slowed down alot. i dont eat enuf veggies?

Question

help me plz

Answer 1

Your baby is probably running out of room to move around. No worries. I ate nothing but junk food and my pregnancy, labor and my babies are doing awesome!!

Answer 2

Not to worry, easier said than done I know.  I have three kids and this happened with all three of them.  Baby is running out of room to give such strong kicks.  It's nothing to worry about, as long as you are feeling SOME movement.  A drastic decrease can be very normal but to ease your mind call your doctor and let him/her know.  They get paid the big bucks to reassure you..but it also helps to come to a board like this one and hear others stories. Good luck.  Sleep now.

Answer 3

no what you eat doesn't affect fetal movement...baby is slowing down because he/she is running out of room to stretch...right now baby is curled up in the fetal position.

Answer 4

Do you mean slowed down or stopped? Even though your baby has less room you still should be able to feel fetal movements. If the fetal movements have stopped then you really should go to your doctor and have the fetal heart checked. Please dont listen to people who tell you that it is normal to not feel your baby because they have no room. YOu should still be able to feel them.

And, fetal movement has nothing to do with not eating enough vegetables. Try a very cold glass of water, that usually wakes up a comfortable baby! Good luck

Answer 5

My doctor told me once you get to about 36 weeks the fetal movement will slow down because he is running out of space but he should still move atleast 5 times an hour or 15 times a day or something like that. Drink a lot of water or something sweet and lay on your left side. He should move a lot.
